MAY 24

The Moon continues its transit of Virgo until 2:52 AM EDT when it enters Libra. Creating order is the focus with a Libra Moon, not necessarily through tidying or organizing as was the case while the Moon was in Virgo, but rather through pleasing interactions with others and aesthetics in our environment. We’re more able to put aside our emotions if it helps us achieve the peace we crave. Decisions do not come easily. Seeing both sides to any given situation is the main reason for hesitation, and fear of losing others’ approval is another.

Jupiter and Neptune are reaching a trine aspect, exact tomorrow morning, for the second time in a set of three perfections while Jupiter is in Scorpio, the first of which occurred in December 2017, and the final of which will happen in August 2018. Idealistic and humanitarian goals or impulses surface now. Widening our minds through unusual or different experiences can be in focus now. Generosity and compassion increase and our faith lifts up. We more readily make personal sacrifices for what we believe to be the greater good. However, we can also be oblivious to practical considerations under this influence.

The Void of Course Moon continues until the Moon enters Libra at 2:52 AM EDT.

MAY 25

Mercury forms a trine to Pluto this morning and can point to an opportunity to gain a mental advantage. Our mental faculties are attuned to otherworldly impressions, offering us increased insight, psychological understanding and awareness, and focused attention. We are drawn to looking for truths and to unexplored topics and ideas. This directed influence promotes developing strategies and plans and using our persuasive skills. We are especially good at solving problems and getting to the bottom line.

The Moon is in Libra all day, encouraging us to seek out balance and harmony. However, we’re moving towards a Venus-Saturn opposition, exact early tomorrow, which suggests some negative feedback or blockage can slow us down. Ideally, this is only enough to pace ourselves or to adjust our expectations. We may feel criticized or unsatisfied. Financial limitations may make themselves known, or burdens of our debts or obligations to others are magnified. We may need to pay the piper, or if we’ve been overdoing pleasures, a reminder of our responsibilities comes now. Burdens, responsibilities, lack, limitations, and problems can loom larger than usual under the Venus-Saturn influence, particularly with regards to love, pleasure, and finances.

The Moon is void from 5:04 PM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a square to Pluto), until the Moon enters Scorpio the next day, Saturday, May 26th, at 9:39 AM EDT.

Jupiter forms a trine with Neptune

This is the second of three aspects in a set. Jupiter at 16° Scorpio 20′ forms a trine aspect with Neptune at 16° Pisces 20′. This aspect first perfected in December 2017, and will perfect again in August 2018.

With Jupiter forming a trine to Neptune, idealistic and humanitarian goals or impulses surface now. Making connections with others from a different background may figure. Widening our minds through unusual or different experiences can be part of the picture. Practical considerations could take a back seat now. Generosity and compassion increase and our faith is boosted. We more easily make personal sacrifices for what we believe to be the better good.

Jupiter trine Neptune dates:

1st: December 2nd, 2017, when Jupiter is at 11° Scorpio 30′ and Neptune is at 11° Pisces 30′ (first)

2nd: May 25th, 2018, when Jupiter is at 16° Scorpio 20′ and Neptune is at 16° Pisces 20′

3rd: August 19th, 2018, when Jupiter is at 15° Scorpio 36′ and Neptune is at 15° Pisces 36′ (final)

Venus perfects its opposition to Saturn early today, and Mercury forms minor tense aspects with both bodies. This can be a day of harsher criticism than usual and a tendency to see things skeptically or negatively. We’re seeking clarity now, but we may be focusing too much on the practical side of relationships and emotions and failing to see the bigger picture as a result. We can be quite sensitive to what we perceive as rejection, which may only be awkwardness. The Moon finishes its transit of Libra at 9:39 AM EDT when it enters Scorpio. The Scorpio Moon is intense, tenacious, tough, and perceptive.

The Void of Course Moon continues until the Moon enters Scorpio at 9:39 AM EDT.

The Sun’s sesquiquadrate with Pluto this morning can stimulate or aggravate fears and any feelings we may have of being powerless or overlooked. Buried emotions and motives can surface now. A tendency to want to control our lives through some form of manipulation is persistent with this aspect. However, as the day advances, we’re inclined to loosen up as the Scorpio Moon aligns with Jupiter and harmonizes with Neptune. The Moon-Jupiter transit also has the effect of magnifying our feelings and attachments, except that we can be exceptionally comfortable with our emotions.

Mercury enters Gemini

Mercury is in Gemini from May 29-June 12. When Mercury is in Gemini, we are especially communicative, curious, and sociable. Mercury feels right at home in Gemini, one of the signs that it rules. We tend to take more pleasure in gaining a superficial knowledge of many subjects rather than dig deep into any one topic. We are especially astute when it comes to arguing or making a point. We are attracted to wordplays, puns, and negotiations. We are easily distracted.

Mercury enters Cancer

Mercury is in Cancer from June 12-June 29, 2018. When Mercury is in Cancer, we move from the desire for quantity to the need for quality in terms of the information we are attracted to. We think, speak, and take in information on a deeper, more instinctive level now. We have less interest in what is universal, and more interest in what affects us personally and what affects the people around us. Our thoughts are colored by our emotions, so it is more challenging to be objective.
